You’re listening to Burnt Toast! We are Virginia Sole-Smith and Corinne Fay.
For our last August hiatus episode, we’re looking back at a conversation we ran back in February of this year — exploring the work of attorney turned self-help guru Mel Robbins.
Did Mel steal the concept of “let them?”
Is she just Andrew Huberman for the “We Can Do Hard Things” crowd?
Is high-fiving yourself in the mirror every morning a diet?
As you’ll hear, Corinne and I didn’t totally agree… until we did. Let’s get into it.
To hear our discussion, you’ll need to be a paid Burnt Toast subscriber. Subscriptions are $7 per month or $70 for the year.
